The Sixers statement did make sure to say the team is happy with the arena itself, which is a good thing considering how many people think the team will be moved to Camden after it builds an $82 million practice facility. After all, the ownership group also owns the New Jersey Devils. But the team has been defiant in saying it will stay in Philly.

“We greatly value each and every one of our current partners and work diligently to enhance and maximize those relationships,” said Heck. “We also continue to enjoy our relationship with Comcast-Spectacor as tenants at a world-class arena.”

A Comcast-Spectacor rep said: “We have a terrific relationship with the Sixers. They’re great tenants.”

Barbara Nate, a Wells Fargo corporate communications rep told me: “We don’t know why the 76ers are not using the venue’s full name in their communications and would defer to their front office to address that with you.”
